McDonald’s fans loved the Snack Wrap until it was pulled from the menu in 2016 – but it may finally be back.
The original Snack Wraps that McDonald’s lovers remember—consisting of chicken, lettuce, shredded cheese and salsa wrapped in a warm tortilla—were discontinued for a number of reasons: It was difficult and time-consuming to put together, sales were not as strong as they had hoped, and the all-day breakfast was more favorable.
But one eagle-eyed fan of the fast food chain believes their return is imminent, considering McDonald’s has just finished testing its new McCrispy Chicken Tenders.
TikTok user @SnachWithZach noted that these tenders — which underwent a test run at seven McDonald’s restaurants in Hickory, North Carolina, through Sunday, July 21 — are “the missing link to get the Snack Wrap back.”
While this may seem like a big theory, @SnachWithZach is likely spot on because in December, McDonald’s US President Joe Erlinger basically confirmed during an Investor Update Q&A that the favorite menu item will return, saying that having a McCrispy tender will “allow us to eventually have a McCrispy food wrapper.”
“If you think about it in the American business, we have three really strong chicken brands between McChicken, Chicken McNuggets and obviously McCrispy. But McCrispy we’re in the early days, really building that brand and looking forward, will we eventually have a fresh tender? Yes. And will this allow us to eventually have a McCrispy snack wrapper? Yes. But we’re still in the early days of doing that,” Erlinger said at the time.
However, the Snack Wrap of the future will not be the same as the Snack Wrap of the past.
The Snack Wraps will be part of the fast food chain’s McCrispy line (formerly called the Crispy Chicken Sandwich) — meaning the McCrispy chicken tender will serve as the base for the wrap.
McDonald’s has not released any further information about the McCrispy Chicken Tenders or the Snack Wrap. The company only confirmed the test location and dates to @SnachWithZach.
The Post has contacted for comment.
Unfortunately, there’s no specific release timeline for the new and improved Snack Wrap, but with the McCrispy tender testing over, fans can hope to get their hands on it sooner rather than later.
